I think Fox had a contract period with Wallace, and when it came to the end....they weren’t going to offer anything. He was just supposed to ‘go/retire’.
It’s gotten like professional baseball, where owners are stupid to sign a long-term contract with a player, only to find ten years later that the player is just not productive.
“owners are stupid to sign a long-term contract with a player”
Thought my Reds were with Joey Votto but he rebounded last year. And now baseball looks like it is going to stupidly follow one full season after a 60 game COVID season with a lockout-shortened season.
